Our Wounded on the Richmond and Petersburg Lines. – The comparative
small loss sustained by General Lee’s army in the fighting on the lines
defending Richmond and Petersburg, commencing on the 28th of
September, has been a matter of some surprise and gratifying comment. The
following exhibit, compiled from the records of the Seabrook Receiving Hospital,
through which nearly all of the wounded have passed, gives the number received
on each day from the 28th September to the 7th of October,
inclusive: Admitted, September 28, 84; September 29, 108; September 30, 69;
October 1, 384; October 2, 263; October 3, 65; October 4, 22; October 5, 53;
October 6, 62; October 7, 221. Total, 1,331. Of this number, twenty-five died
within the dates specified, before removed to other hospitals, which is a
remarkably small per centage.

Several hundred of the more severely wounded on the Petersburg lines are yet
cared for in hospitals near that city, which will probably bring our wounded up
to fifteen hundred in the engagements from the 28th ultimo to the 7th
instant. It is a maxim that “figures won’t lie,” unless tampered with, and
therefore, according to the published reports of his own surgeons, Grant has
lost five men wounded to our one, with an average proportion killed, which is
about one to five wounded, to say nothing of the three or four thousand
prisoners he has lost in the same engagements.

The Business of the Seabrook Receiving Hospital, the channel through
which all soldier patients pass before reaching the other hospitals of Richmond,
is shown by the following condensed statement of three months operations,
furnished us by the chief clerk of the hospital, Mr. T. P. Lilliston. The
operations embrace the months of July, August and September: Number of patients
received, 10,100; returned to duty, 89; transferred to other hospitals, 9,663;
furloughed, 143; died, 96. In the same three months 5,522 sick cases were
treated, of which 56 died, and 4,578 wounded, of which 40 died. It is asserted
by the surgeons in charge that such a small per centage of deaths in the
aggregate number of sick and wounded treated never before rewarded medical skill
in the hospital history of this war.
